(“AIM”), Nassau Tool Works, Inc. (“NTW”), and the Sterling Engineering Corporation (“Sterling”), (together, the “Company”).

Principal Business Activity

The Company is a Tier 1 or Tier 2 manufacturer of precision assemblies and components for mission-critical aerospace and defense applications and a prime contractor to the U.S. Department of Defense. The Company’s AIM and NTW subsidiaries manufacture flight critical or flight safety aircraft components including landing gear, arresting gear, flight controls, primarily for military aircraft, including the UH-60 Helicopter, the E2-D, and F-35, F-18 fighter aircraft, and the Pratt & Whitney Geared Turbofan jet engine. Sterling manufactures components used in jet engines of military and commercial aircraft and ground power turbine engines. The Company’s primary customers are large publicly traded companies including the four largest suppliers to the US Department of Defense.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company included in this report have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Historically the Company operated its businesses and reported its results as two separate segments with AIM and NTW comprising the Complex Machining segment (“CMS”) and Sterling as the Turbine & Engine Component segment (“TEC”). The CMS segment specialized in flight critical components including flight controls and landing gear. The TEC segment focused on manufacturing components for jet engines. Along with its operating subsidiaries, the Company reported the results of its corporate division as an independent segment.

In recent years the Company integrated and consolidated the business of AIM and NTW into one facility on Long Island and the operations of its CMS and TEC segments have become increasingly integrated. The Company also made significant capital expenditures and all of its operations now share the same manufacturing facilities and use most, if not all, of the same sales and marketing functions. The Company made these changes to take advantage of the long-term growth opportunities it sees in the aerospace and defense market. In early fiscal 2022, the Company further changed its management approach and is now making decisions about resources to be allocated and assesses performance based on one integrated business rather than two reporting segments. As such, effective with the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2022, the Company is presenting its operations as one reportable operating segment.

Liquidity

At each reporting period, management evaluates whether there are conditions or events that raise any substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. The Company is required to make certain additional disclosures if management concludes that if substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern provided that such doubt is not alleviated by the Company’s plans or when the Company’s plans alleviate substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. This evaluation entails analyzing prospective operating budgets and forecasts for expectations regarding cash needs and comparing those needs to the current cash and cash equivalent balance and expectations regarding cash to be generated over the following year.

The global outbreak of COVID-19 negatively impacted the Company’s revenues, earnings and operating cash flows in 2020. While operations substantially returned to normal in fiscal 2021 and 2022, there remains some substantial issues and problems receiving raw materials and prompt processing of its products.

With fiscal 2022 now completed and the Company continuing to see the benefits from its recent investments in machinery and equipment, management believes the Company will continue to improve its liquidity. During 2022, the Company generated $448,000 of cash from operating activities. Based on the Company’s current best estimates of fiscal 2023 and first half of fiscal 2024 sales, confirmed orders from existing backlog and expected orders from existing and new customers expected timing of future cash receipts and expenditures and the Company’s ability to access additional liquidity, if needed, the Company firmly believes it will have adequate cash to support operations through at least one year from the date of the accompanying financial statements are issued.

Reverse Stock Split

The reverse stock split was effective on October 18, 2022, and its common stock began trading on a post-split-adjusted basis at that time. All share and per share amounts of its common stock presented have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the 1-for-10 reverse stock split.
